Taormina prep. & 3 new Roman Republican papers

18 Settembre, 2015

In preparation for the XV International Numismatic Congress at Taormina next week I've just uploaded three papers I've written (actually two papers and a presentation) that may be useful background information for those attending my talk or others on Roman Republican Coinage. They are:

Anonymous Struck Bronze Coinage of the Roman Republic. This is a long paper within Essays Russo (Witschonke, van Alfen eds) that I'm only now uploading as it is a foundation for some of the material I talk about at Taormina

An extended version of my conference talk for next Monday, about Roman bronze coinage from Apulia during the second Punic war. It has extra slides to deal with matters that I will likely verbalise in the talk

Not directly related to this event but I also added a recent hoard report I wrote on 37 denarii from Spain with large knife cuts in it, just published in Essays Witschonke. I'd have held back a bit to allow the hardback copies to sell until I found that they are retailing at an eye watering $275.

I also included my personal conference agenda for Taormina - my selection of 40 talks to attend out of 400

Finally, I plan to tweet the conference experience next week, and am already tweeting preps for it

I attach below a couple of sample slides from my Taormina presentation.
